If you can't beat em, join em. What do you think?

Looks like someone else is getting involved now. I don't know why, but this bugs me. I just want Big tobacco to stay out of it. I would rather see these smaller vendors grow their company and eventually put big tobacco out of business. Almost like getting a new sheriff in town. What are your thoughts?


CASAA: Swisher Sweets releases new e-cig products to the market.

now if they would come out with some juice that was close to their sweet&mild i would be in vape haven i know people are divided on this issue but when i smoked that was always my little treat so while i my self have mixed feelings about big tobbaco geting into our little niche i could still have my little treat...

I agree... so much so that I absolutely refuse to buy one! Seriously I do agree with you but there's nothing we can do about it as far as I can see. Until there is there's not much point in concerning ourselves with it. *We Got Here First* so the best thing we can do is try to spread the word - at the moment we can vape in relative freedom without being owned by Big Tobacco or Big Pharm or, for that matter, Big Brother. This is unlikely to last, but the more we spread the word, the better chance it has of reaching critical mass before the hammer drops. If nothing else perhaps the Vaping Market can become powerful enough to require its suppliers to provide quality products which meet *our standards* and thwart the introduction of the government's & industries' poisons into our supplies. We shall see....

Meantime, Happy Vaping!

I have to agree with op, big tobacco should keep well away I really dont trust them, they will start adding loads of different chemicals and additives to keep us hooked.

 

[bebeau25]

I'm hooked without them and their chemicals...lol

We all knew this was coming. They took the hints and decided to get on the bandwagon and see if they can even compete. I have a feeling they will probably be a hit just because of their name. I myself will not touch them.

Big tobacco owns the source of nicotine in the USA. Sorry, but we will own e-cigarettes in this country. China will not be able to compete for the US nicotine market after the US gets involved.

You want US made products, you got it. It may not be exactly what you wanted at first look but hey, it's US jobs: not Chinese.

It's fun to imagine that all of the independent US and EU mod makers could join together and take on the Chinese in the e-cig business, but that's a romantic notion and not a sound economic theory based in facts. The Chinese e-cigarette business has developed in limited capitalist zones in mainland China as allowed by the communist PRC Polititburo. The only forces strong enough to take them on in the e-cig world are the US-based big tobacco corporations. Anything else is whizzin' in the wind.
